LP's announcement of senate slate should have been done last Friday but it was postponed due to Metro Manila Development Authority Chair Francis Tolentino's request to remove him from the line-up. Tolentino received criticism on controversial LP event in Laguna last month.

Liberal Party is headed by former Interior and Local Government (DILG) Secretary Manuel 'Mar' Roxas II as its presidential candidate and Camarines Sur Rep. Leni Robredo as his running mate.
